The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) presents its first venue grant exhibit for the year, Places by Alfred Marasigan. It will be on view from March 10 to April 10 at the CCP Bulwagang Fernando Amorsolo (Small Gallery) and the 4th floor Atrium (Manila side).
Places is artist Alfred Marasigan’s attempt at sharing personal moments of introspection. For the artist, external spaces, particularly ‘non-places’, have a profound effect on contemplative individuals like him. With their lack of character, distinction and significance, the subjective mind is able to transform them into places through art.
Marasigan hopes his works will encourage people to reimagine the spaces they inhabit into places they can eventually value. Those passing through Roxas Boulevard for the duration of the exhibition will also be able to view the artist’s outdoor installation entitled Flight, which will be suspended from the roof of the CCP’s façade.
Places is Marasigan’s first solo exhibition. Everyone is invited to attend its opening reception on March 10, Thursday, 5:00 p.m. at the Bulwagang Fernando Amorsolo (Small Gallery).
Marasigan will also hold an artist’s talk on March 17, 5:00 p.m. at the CCP front lawn. Gallery hours are from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
